Is There Finally a Good Sonic Game Coming Out?

Hey, remember when Sonic games were good? You know, 2D, sidescroller, Sonic didn’t turn into a wolf, there wasn’t a “dark” version of Sonic who shot people, just running to the right, really, really fast and collecting rings? That Sonic?

After years of crushing the hopes of gamers everywhere, Sonic Team….OK, so it was mostly Dimps, but Sonic Team wanted to pitch in on a game that didn’t suck wildly, anyway, Sega is bringing the hedgehog back to his 2D roots next week. Or this week if you own an iPhone, and you also save five bucks, unlike the console owners. Gee, thanks, Sega.

Here’s a video under the cut of the awesomeness in store. All we can say is, welcome back, buddy. We missed your pointy blue tuchus.

I’ll admit it, I never “got” sonic games. To me all they were was running straight ahead too fast to actually see anything. But, I acknowledge that I am in the minority.

I too never liked Sonic, I was a rabid Nintendo fanboy as a wee gangster, never played any of the Sonics. Now I’m too old to enjoy a Sonic game if it was good, unless they drop him in Liberty City or on Reach or maybe even in Cholla Springs
